A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

As an avid Knowledge Fight listener, I can assure you that Jones indeed has known the entire time. When Trump first started gaining steam in 2016, Jones correctly called Trump a mobster. Roger Stone eventually convinced Jones to get on board, presumably with the promise of access. It’s been pretty clear that Jones has regretted that decision for most of the past decade because it completely fucked up his grift.
